Riyadh-Mubasher: China’s Shandong Electric Power Construction Corp. (SEPCO) has signed a contract to establish a gas compressor station as part of the expansion of Saudi Arabia’s main gas pipeline, said industry sources.
Armco is proceeding with gas-related projects to meet rising domestic demand and conserve oil for export and refining, Arab News reported.
The project, known as Master Gas System 2 (MGS 2), will raise the system’s capacity to 12.5 billion cubic feet of gas a day (cfd) by 2018 compared with 8.4 billion cfd currently.
SEPCO is already executing the first phase of the expansion of the MGS, installing booster gas compressor stations due to be complete by the end of 2016 that will help raise capacity to 9.6 billion cfd.
